Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin was stung by a scorpion Wednesday night and spent three hours in an emergency room in Arizona, the team’s website reports.

Melvin is fine and was back in the office this morning at 8.

The website reports Melvin’s wife noticed a bug crawling on the floor of their spring training condo Wednesday evening. Melvin grabbed a paper towel to crush it, unaware that it was a scorpion with a lethal sting. He was stung on the middle finger, which immediately began to swell.

“I got nervous when all of the numbness started getting up in the shoulder area,” Melvin told the website. “You think, ‘Can this thing go to your heart?’ They said you can lose your breathing, your vision can be a problem. None of that happened to me.”
